Lent - Day 32
Mark 10:46-52

Be like Bartimaeus

So often we want to follow Jesus but we don’t know how. We can learn to take the first steps in the discipleship journey by looking at Bartimaeus and the 8 things he does to begin his discipleship journey with Jesus:

1. Cry out to Jesus, He’s the only one who can save you.
2. Don’t worry about who’s around you and what they think, keep calling out to Christ.
3. Do you know who you’re calling out to? It’s the Messiah, the anointed one, the Son of David.
4. Do you realize Jesus doesn’t owe you anything, are you asking for mercy?
5. Are you jumping at every opportunity to be in the presence of Christ?
6. Can you ask Jesus plainly and directly what it is that you need?
7. Are you putting your faith in the right place? Is it faith in a miracle or faith in Christ?
8. Are you satisfied to be blessed and return to your ordinary life? Or are you willing to follow Jesus down the hard road of discipleship?

You can do these 8 things, just like Bartimaeus!

Todays Prayer
Jesus, may we be like Bartimaeus.
